Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'ProVisionCOMDemoLib.ReadDATFile'. This operation failed because the QueryInterface call on the COM component for the interface with IID '{91820B46-B3FD-41FE-9A75-45A72424F480}' failed due to the following error: No such interface supported (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80004002 (E_NOINTERFACE)).

Do you have the C# set up with the correct Reference entry for your DLL?
Are you able to debug the call to QueryInterface in your ReadDATFile object?

Please post the following information.

IDL for the ReadDATFile object.
ReadDATFile header file with class declaration, all interfaces and COM related macro based declarations.
If you have a customer QueryInterface implementation you should post that too.

You have some naming issues in your code. Check the naming and GUID of the registered component which is in the registry.

The name and GUID must be unique, but your name sounds like from some sample code. Change it and rebiuld, register. COM is pain in the ass sometimes ;-)
